Hiya!

I currently use Garage Band to write my music, but I feel like it is fairly limited for what it can do.

I was wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions on freeware or inexpensive music writing software?

Audacity is good for putting tracks together, but I am looking for some notation or instrumentation software.

Thanks!

I use Powertab Editor for quite a bit if my scoring when writing music, it's simple, easy to use and free. It's also MIDI based so you can listen to what you've written. It is guitar oriented but has both notation and tab staves. You can download it here http://www.power-tab.net/guitar.php

I have been playing with Reaper a shareware DAW that is uber powerful...

What kind of music are you trying to compose? If it's orchestral, then I highly recommend EastWest Symphonic Orchestra Gold. It's inexpensive and has been one of the industry standards for a very long time.

Here is there website...

Yeah, really depends on what you want... I have fl studio. But I'm really trying to experiment a lot with sound.

Yeah, really does depends on what you want... but I've found if i can't do it in LMMS it can't be done might be easier in some other apps but there is more then one way to get things done i find that out a lot seems i do things the hard way then messy around i find a way easier way lol
